Nov 22 Mixbook Acrylic Prints

Remember when you were a kid and you had those cool acrylic marbles that were clear with those flashes of bright color splashed through? And there were two of them tied on a string that you could swing around and do tricks with and if you were lucky, hit somebody in the eye? Yeah, me too. Clackers. Those things were so fun to play with.

But now we’re grown-ups. Plus, I think they discontinued Clackers because of the eye-bashing part. Point being, it wouldn’t have been the same awesome toy if it weren’t for those flashy pops of color in the acrylic marbles. It was the acrylic marbles that mesmerized you as they flew through the air so dangerously close to your face.

Mixbook has taken acrylic and pushed it to the next level. Goodbye Clackers, Hello Acrylic Prints. Just like a bright marble swinging by your face at full speed, our Acrylic Prints are so vibrant and magnetic, you can’t take your eyes off them. Bam! An Acrylic Print draws you right in. They’re bright, and they also have an expensive, gallery-like feel to them. Especially when it comes to dramatic landscape photographs and thoughtful portraits with poppy colors.

GOING BIG
Hipsters love a good Acrylic Print because you can blow it up and hang it over the sofa like a million bucks. The acrylic is so dynamic your entire living room is immediately elevated to a whole new level of decorating. Suddenly, you’ve got “art.” That’s not just some random shot of an elephant; it’s a statement piece. A sunset is transformed into A SUNSET. And a stroll in the fall leaves is so radiant you can’t help but reach out and trying to touch it. Just by printing your photograph on acrylic, you change the conversation.

GOING SMALL
When I was trying to figure out how to work my new phone camera I stumbled upon the fast shutter option. Somehow I took about a thousand photographs in under fifteen seconds. Super annoying. However, in the craziness I got an action sequence of my little one skiing down his first mountain. I put each shot on a different Acrylic Print and handed them out to the family. No one got the same picture. It was amazing not only because of the individuality of each shot, but also because the acrylic turned the photographs into something out of a glossy magazine. The snow sparkled, the water shimmed and my guy blazed like a torpedo. Plus, my mother-in-law says it’s a heck of a lot easier to dust than a picture frame so there you go.

GOING FABULOUS
Decorating projects can be intimidating, but acrylic makes it easier. Pick a color that appeals to you – green for instance. The green is going to jump and dance thanks to the glossiness of the acrylic. You can pick three or four photographs that feature your green. They don’t even need to go together because the green and the acrylic will pull the subjects into one. Arrange your Acrylic Prints in a group and Ta Da! – instant dramatic moment. It’s like you went out and paid a bundle at gallery Ooolala instead of making them on the cheap thanks to Mixbook.
